Sources, detail[edit]

I just made a series of edits that removed a lot of content. The biggest problem was the combination of (a) way too much detail, and (b) a complete lack of cited sources. The level of detail -- as well as a lot of the wording used -- made it look like a promotional brochure for the school, which is quite different from an encyclopedia article. (See WP:Neutral point of view, WP:PROMO, WP:TONE, etc.). The key for a Wikipedia article is to focus on what makes the school special apart from other schools -- and even then, only those aspects that make it special which can be backed up by reliable, independent, third party sources.

One thing that looks particularly interesting -- in a way that suggests there are likely sources talking about it -- is the Earth Task Force. Someone with more first hand knowledge of the school and the program should elaborate on that one. In my cursory look, that's the thing that stood out as especially notable. --— Rhododendrites ^talk | 22:23, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
